Other Information
Late work that is submitted without an application for an extension (see below) will not be corrected.
APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR SUBMISSION OF ASSESSABLE WORK - A student may apply for an extension of up to 7 days from the original due date.

Note: To Pass the oral assessment all parts of the RUBIC must be included in the presentation and report. Assignments will be marked Satisfactory/Not satisfactory.
Students may be given the opportunity to resubmit the assignment if this is requested by the teacher and approved by the co-coordinator.
Students are required to achieve a Pass grade in both tasks to achieve Competence for this course
